Implement Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) to help you discover, classify, and protect sensitive information wherever it lives or travels. MIP capabilities are included with Microsoft 365 Compliance and give you the tools to know your data, protect your data, and prevent data loss.

To apply flexible protection actions that include encryption, access restrictions, and visual markings, use the following capabilities: Sensitivity labels; A single solution across apps, services, and devices to label and protect your data as it travels inside and outside your organization.

Know your data: Sensitive Information Type, Trainable Classifiers, Data Classification

Protect Key Encryption, Office Message Encryption, Information Rights Management, Microsoft Cloud App. Security,

Prevent DLP, Endpoint data loss prevention,

Azure Information Protection unified labeling scanner: Discovers, labels, and protects sensitive information that resides in data stores that are on-premises.

Based on organizational needs, there are ways AIP could be architected. With just the scanners, with an RMS connector, or with even a load balancer sitting in front of the scanners

Cloud only-deployment (without on-prem resources)

Hybrid deployment (integrating RMS connector)

Hybrid with a load balancer.

In this Training, we will be working students through various processes in deploying scanners, policies, and set up various scans including the network discovery scan, auto-label various sensitive documents.
